My Cars
The car at the top right is a Rover 800 the first Rover that I had done up. The car had a few mods done to it here is just a few things that it had done to it, The wheels where changed a body kit fitted the engine was rebuilt and the head was gas flowed, a big bore exhaust was fitted, the engine management system was super chipped, Then the Pioneer head unit was fitted with an amp and subs in the boot and underneath the car neon and strobes also strobes and neon's on the inside of the car But the car was getting on a bit and had to go so the poor old thing got replaced with a newer Rover 800 but this time it is the TURBO model the Rover Vitesse 2Lt turbo. funny thing is it also is red don't seem to be able to get other cars than red
The second car
I also have a For Escort 1600 Ghia this one broke the mold IT IS BLUE which is a nice change this is just a small spair car for running around in not much done on it the indicator lenses on the front where amber so they have been changes to clear the small side ones have also been changed to blue ones and some small jobs have to be sorted out on it but this will come in time fingers crossed
Some useful places in Waterloo
.Waterloo Motor Co. Waterloo Rd, Waterloo (0151 920 0011) turn down by the five lamps take the first left and they are just there as you go around the corner behind the shops Gary (the owner) is very helpful they do all kinds of repairs and spraying and they call out if you are having a problem give them a ring and say Ian with the red Rover told you to give him a ring The next Motor Ghia, 125 St Johns Rd Waterloo (0151 949 1260) Kev is very helpful they stock all the things a good accessory shop sells also cycles and fishing tackle INPORTANT NOTE

Notes Torq. is torque in lb ft. Year is year of introduction. All specifications are for manual cars except Sterling. 50-70 is in 4th Gear - Rover figures. Urb, 56 and 75 are British Government standard test rfigures (Urban, 56mph and 75mph). Maxspd is maximum speed in mph.
Difference between the 2lt Vitesse and the Vitesse sport bhp is that the boost is slightly higher and with an adjuster you can achieve well over the 200 bhp without any other mods
